Question for the lager brewers out there: I have had problems with several recent lager batches with fermentation either starting later than normal (I like to see lagers start bubbling about 12 hrs after pitching) or not at all (forcing a quick use of dry yeast). I use single Wyeast...

I've been trying without success to determine what yield I can expect from unmalted wheat (as one might find in say a Witbier recipe). Palmer's table of "Typical Malt Yields (in PPG)" does not list unmalted wheat. I've also found no mention of yield on this forum or the internet homebrew shops...

I just did my first allgrain batch yesterday (Oatmeal Stout), and pitched at about 5:00PM. By 11:00PM there was already some krausen and bubbling and by this morning it was bubbling furiously. I'm accustomed to a lag time of about 12 hours of late. I use Wyeast Activator packs with 5 gal...

I got my new 7.5 gal brew kettle and wort chiller last week, and tried them out on Sunday (just with water, to practice). Found as you would expect that Newton's law of cooling is still in effect, and what with tap water being somewhat warm during the summer, cooling slows down considerably as...

I'm wondering if anyone can share recipe formulation tips for using corn sugar as a significant part of a recipe (by that I mean to add at boiling time, not as bottling time food for the yeast to produce carbonation). My motivation is a) I do like some of the commercial beers that use corn as...

I recently begun the jump to kegging - I bought a used chest freezer, built a wood collar for it, and purchased the necessary tanks, kegs, hoses and fittings. Hooked everything up and played around with carbonated water while waiting for my lager to condition, which gives me a lot of time...

Hi, I've been homebrewing for nearly a year now. So far I've been bottling but I'm thinking about making the leap to kegging. I am wondering though about a couple of things. (As an aside, I should mention that my consumption pattern is not regular - I might consume multiple beers one day...
